Brinc aims to support every startup participating in its programs by connecting them with suitable program investment partners.

Brinc uses a weighted scorecard covering aspects ranging across team, tech, market, financials, and impact. Founders must be pursuing an idea full-time, and have at least a Minimum Viable Product (MVP), with At least one POC / Pilot completed or ongoing. Startups with early revenue traction or a healthy pipeline of customers and/or users shall be ideal. We also look for founders who are coachable and have a sense of how the program can best support them. Since the programs are designed to support founders connecting to institutional investors, we do prioritize companies with approaches with clear defensibility.
The exact calendar start will depend on the startup selection process. At this time, the program start is targeted for Q1 2024.
